Peek InsideEdgy but Tranquil Yacht Irisha
A sporty raised wheelhouse, main-deck winter garden, and 26-knot top speed make Heesen Irisha a standout superyacht.
The true genius behind Heesen’s 5000 Aluminum class is not purely in its continued success built on spec, but on its flexibility as a platform. Semi-displacement fully custom 167-foot Irisha is a fast and furious yacht with a top speed of 26 knots. Its radical profile, driven by the owner’s desire for something “fairly aggressive and dynamic” gives the yacht a distinctive edge on the water, and yet it, too, is founded on the award-winning Satori hull.
Exterior and interior designed by London-based yacht designers and architects Harrison Eidsgaard, Irisha has been masterfully adapted to suit the owner’s desire for a day boat, and, in addition to a rapid top speed, Irisha is defined by a sporty raised wheelhouse—undoubtedly the most impressive design feature of the entire yacht. Completely enclosed in 3-D curved glass, which also forms the bulwarks on the side, it is “reminiscent of the cockpit on an F-16 fighter jet,” says designer Ben Harrison.
Encompassing a split-level design with three steps up to the 43-foot-long sundeck, the curved glass sheets (among the largest produced in Europe) seamlessly connect the wheelhouse and sundeck with a fluidity of movement that is emphasised by two L-shaped sailing-yacht-style hatches.
While Irisha’s metallic two-tone Pacific-blue hull singles the yacht out from afar, a chic understated interior features varying shades of light and dark gray (the owner’s favorite color) with beige and blue accent colors. Rich textures are featured sparingly throughout, such as stainless-steel finishes, onyx walls, and a hand-felted silk bedhead by Dutch artist Claudy Jongstra in the owner’s suite. Italian-inspired plaster work by DKTArtworks winds up the highly complex atrium staircase with toughened glass balustrading and a floating handrail.
In place of a traditional formal saloon is a stunning main-deck winter garden with sliding glass doors that provide a year-round indoor/outdoor casual living area, which is complemented by Irisha’s architecturally designed lighting.
“The lines, design language, and aesthetics are all linked by our desire to make sure everything flows, looks directional, and is dynamic,” says Peder Eidsgaard.
Available to charter through SuperYachtsMonaco in the West Mediterranean throughout 2018/19, Irisha’s spectacular winter garden makes it the ideal vessel for an extended summer cruise.

A Closer Look at Ngoni, One of the Largest SailingYachts in the WorldRoyal Huisman has released never-before-seen photos of the 190-foot sailing yacht Ngoni.
Delivered last summer and immediately put to good use in the Mediterranean, the 190-foot high-performance sloop Ngoni (originally known by its project name: The Beast) from Royal Huisman is a sailing sight to behold. Tasked by the owner to create a contemporary yacht with incredible performance, handling, and seakeeping paired with luxury amenities, Dubois Naval Architects settled on a minimalistic approach, creating a clean, clutter-free deck and low-profile superstructure, both of which made for an elegant and efficient yacht. Ngoni is also one of the largest sailing yachts in the world.
Dubois designed a slender aluminum hull with plumb bow and reverse sheer, which gave the hull structural stiffness. This is important, considering the large portholes, a fold-out side-boarding platform, water-level gym door, a couple of submarine anchors, and retractable thrusters, as well as a 100-ton lifting keel that adjusts from 26 to 17 feet. Maximum hull speed is 17 knots.
The yacht features a carbon mast and a 9,182 square-foot square-top mainsail with supporting diagonal batten that detaches automatically and furls into the styled boom. The diagonal batten attaches automatically when hoisting as well.
A Williams 565 TenderDieselJet boat is stored in a cut-out tender garage on the flush foredeck, and an inflatable Bombard commando C3 sport boat is stowed deflated in a storage locker for crew use. They are extracted from the yacht and placed into the water via a Nautical Structures crane.
The cockpit helm station features a sculptural carbon helm with a stainless-steel top. Besides a cozy and protected seating area, the cockpit also includes a popup TV for alfresco movies. Glass doors between the cockpit and the deckhouse expand the inside out and the outside in.
Rick Baker and his team created Ngoni’s sophisticated interior, which was meant to be anything but traditional. Instead, it is a curvy, masculine, and colorful scheme, and includes sculpted-metal surfaces, marble and onyx from Italy, and bespoke veneers.
The glass deckhouse includes a seating area, bar, and dining area. Belowdecks are the owner’s apartment and two en-suite guest staterooms, one a twin and the other a double. Both cabins feature large windows to pull in the sunshine, highlighting the interesting veneers, marbles, and resin finishes.
The aft full-beam owner’s suite comprises an en-suite bedroom, as well as an en-suite study and gym, plus an opening hull port for fresh air and natural light. The owner’s stateroom offers up direct access to an aft sunbathing and lounging area with carbon-fiber spa tub and­­ steps down to the sea-level beach deck, which features an Olympic-size diving board.
Ngoni houses accommodations for crew, too, including a captain’s cabin, two single, and three twin crew cabins.
When not under sail, Ngoni has a range of 4,000 nautical miles at its MTU 8V 2000M72 engine’s cruise speed of 12 knots.

Dominator Unveils the Ilumen 28m Kalliente Superyacht
The 92-foot Dominator Kalliente sets new design and build standards for the under-100-foot yacht segment.
After three years and lots of rumors, the wait is over. Dominator officially showed its new Ilumen 28m class Kalliente in the South of France. Arguably the best-designed mini-megayacht to debut this year, the 92-foot Kalliente was commissioned by an American couple that will keep the yacht at their boutique hotel on the French Riviera. Robb Report first saw the yacht at the media launch today.
Dominator’s Ilumen sits at the forefront of the trend to distill superyacht features into 80- to 90-foot hulls without compromising on quality and, in this case, size. Kalliente’s bespoke interior includes a lavish, impeccably designed saloon with floor-to-ceiling windows for natural light. Its square footage is similar to yachts closer to 100 feet. The master suite is also the same size as many larger yachts, but extras like a retractable moon-roof over the bed and a private balcony in the bow, connected to the bedroom by weatherproof French doors, lift the Alberto Mancini–designed yacht to the top of its class. “When I saw the hull, deck, and superstructure I realized it was the beginning of a new era,” says Mancini.
That’s not just marketing hype. Dominator communicated very closely with yacht owners to create a custom interior, while engineering a robust hull and superstructure built to superyacht standards. “We work with the owners to make the interiors a bespoke design that fits them like a glove in terms of taste and preferences,” says Giulia Sigismondi, head of Dominator’s bespoke office. Among standout features on Kalliente are they yacht’s custom bar, made of stainless steel, backlit onyx, and Foglizzo leather, and a Champagne table of lacquered ebony, Foglizzo leather, and stainless steel. Inside are partitions for Champagne glasses. The details throughout the saloon are a testament to Mancini’s keen eye for subtle, elegant design and the skills of Dominator’s Italian craftsmen to create an interior masterpiece.

You can find the SLABlite at www.tylercoinc.com.
Want to do some cool redecorating? How about lighting up your countertops, walls, or bar tops -- from underneath? Depending on what kind of stone you purchase or already have, you can do this very easily. If the countertop material allows light to shine through, then it is 'translucent'. When backlit, these countertop surfaces can really light up a room and add a sophisticated ambience during the day and especially at night.
TylerCo's invention of SLABlite revolutionized the way countertops are illuminated. In addition to the ability to evenly light virtually everything, the cost to light areas is a fraction of what it used to be.
Each SLABlite is 12" x 12" x .375". There are no limitations to the size of your project. SLABlites go right next to each other and can be grouped together, lying just beneath the actual countertop. Because SLABlite can be custom cut on site, an installer can cut and shape SLABlites to fit around the sinkhole as well. There is no need for templates and trips back to the shop to cut and shape the lighting. This allows the light to shine up through the surface evenly without shadows or hot spots. The SLABlite system raises the stone just 3/8" and the finished look is a completely evenly lit stone surface, including the sink area, modular joining areas, overhangs and edges.

Onyx

Onyx is a banded variety of the oxide mineralchalcedony. Agate and onyx are both varieties of layered chalcedony that differ only in the form of the bands: agate has curved bands and onyx has parallel bands. The colors of its bands range from white to almost every color (save some shades, such as purple or blue). Commonly, specimens of onyx contain bands of black and/or white.

Etymology

Onyx comes through Latin (of the same spelling), from the Greek ὄνυξ, meaning "claw" or "fingernail". With its fleshtone color, onyx can be said to resemble a fingernail. The English word "nail" is cognate with the Greek word.

Varieties

Onyx is formed of bands of chalcedony in alternating colors. It is cryptocrystalline, consisting of fine intergrowths of the silica minerals quartz and moganite. Its bands are parallel to one another, as opposed to the more chaotic banding that often occurs in agates.

Sardonyx is a variant in which the colored bands are sard (shades of red) rather than black. Black onyx is perhaps the most famous variety, but is not as common as onyx with colored bands. Artificial treatments have been used since ancient times to produce both the black color in "black onyx" and the reds and yellows in sardonyx. Most "black onyx" on the market is artificially colored.

Onyx (Pop Evil album)

Onyx is a rock opera and the fourth studio album by Pop Evil. It was released on May 14, 2013. The first single, "Trenches", was released February 28, 2013. The album was available for streaming a day before its official release date. It was produced by Johnny K, mixed by Jay Ruston, and mastered by Paul Logus. Additional vocal production was performed by Dave Bassett. Additional programming was done by Bassett and Matt Doughtery.

The album debuted on the Billboard 200 at No. 39, No. 9 on the Independent Albums chart, with 10,000 copies sold in its first week. It has sold 122,000 copies in the United States as of July 2015.

Yacht

A yacht/ˈjɒt/ is a recreational boat or ship. The term originates from the Dutch word jacht "hunt", and was originally defined as a light fast sailing vessel used by the Dutch navy to pursue pirates and other transgressors around and into the shallow waters of the Low Countries. After its selection by Charles II of England as the vessel to carry him to England from the Netherlands for his restoration in 1660, it came to be used to mean a vessel used to convey important persons.

Modern use of the term designates two different classes of watercraft, sailing and power boats. Yachts differ from working ships mainly by their leisure purpose, and it was not until the rise of the steamboat and other types of powerboat that sailing vessels in general came to be perceived as luxury, or recreational vessels. Later the term came to encompass motor boats for primarily private pleasure purposes as well.

Yacht lengths generally range from 10 metres (33ft) up to dozens of meters (hundreds of feet). A luxury craft smaller than 12 metres (39ft) is more commonly called a cabin cruiser or simply a cruiser. A superyacht generally refers to any yacht (sail or power) above 24m (79ft) and a megayacht generally refers to any yacht over 50 metres (164ft). This size is small in relation to typical cruise liners and oil tankers.

Backlit Onyx, Hatteras Yacht

You can find the SLABlite at www.tylercoinc.com.
Want to do some cool redecorating? How about lighting up your countertops, walls, or bar tops -- from underneath? Depending on what kind of stone you purchase or already have, you can do this very easily. If the countertop material allows light to shine through, then it is 'translucent'. When backlit, these countertop surfaces can really light up a room and add a sophisticated ambience during the day and especially at night.
TylerCo's invention of SLABlite revolutionized the way countertops are illuminated. In addition to the ability to evenly light virtually everything, the cost to light areas is a fraction of what it used to be.
Each SLABlite is 12" x 12" x .375". There are no limitations to the size of your project. SLABlites go right ...

Peek InsideEdgy but Tranquil Yacht Irisha
A sporty raised wheelhouse, main-deck winter garden, and 26-knot top speed make Heesen Irisha a standout superyacht.
The true genius behind Heesen’s 5000 Aluminum class is not purely in its continued success built on spec, but on its flexibility as a platform. Semi-displacement fully custom 167-foot Irisha is a fast and furious yacht with a top speed of 26 knots. Its radical profile, driven by the owner’s desire for something “fairly aggressive and dynamic” gives the yacht a distinctive edge on the water, and yet it, too, is founded on the award-winning Satori hull.
Exterior and interior designed by London-based yacht designers and architects Harrison Eidsgaard, Irisha has been masterfully adapted to suit the owner’s desire for a day boat, and, in addition to a rapid top speed, Irisha is defined by a sporty raised wheelhouse—undoubtedly the most impressive design feature of the entire yacht. Completely enclosed in 3-D curved glass, which also forms the bulwarks on the side, it is “reminiscent of the cockpit on an F-16 fighter jet,” says designer Ben Harrison.
Encompassing a split-level design with three steps up to the 43-foot-long sundeck, the curved glass sheets (among the largest produced in Europe) seamlessly connect the wheelhouse and sundeck with a fluidity of movement that is emphasised by two L-shaped sailing-yacht-style hatches.
While Irisha’s metallic two-tone Pacific-blue hull singles the yacht out from afar, a chic understated interior features varying shades of light and dark gray (the owner’s favorite color) with beige and blue accent colors. Rich textures are featured sparingly throughout, such as stainless-steel finishes, onyx walls, and a hand-felted silk bedhead by Dutch artist Claudy Jongstra in the owner’s suite. Italian-inspired plaster work by DKTArtworks winds up the highly complex atrium staircase with toughened glass balustrading and a floating handrail.
In place of a traditional formal saloon is a stunning main-deck winter garden with sliding glass doors that provide a year-round indoor/outdoor casual living area, which is complemented by Irisha’s architecturally designed lighting.
“The lines, design language, and aesthetics are all linked by our desire to make sure everything flows, looks directional, and is dynamic,” says Peder Eidsgaard.
Available to charter through SuperYachtsMonaco in the West Mediterranean throughout 2018/19, Irisha’s spectacular winter garden makes it the ideal vessel for an extended summer cruise.

A Closer Look at Ngoni, One of the Largest SailingYachts in the WorldRoyal Huisman has released never-before-seen photos of the 190-foot sailing yacht Ngoni.
Delivered last summer and immediately put to good use in the Mediterranean, the 190-foot high-performance sloop Ngoni (originally known by its project name: The Beast) from Royal Huisman is a sailing sight to behold. Tasked by the owner to create a contemporary yacht with incredible performance, handling, and seakeeping paired with luxury amenities, Dubois Naval Architects settled on a minimalistic approach, creating a clean, clutter-free deck and low-profile superstructure, both of which made for an elegant and efficient yacht. Ngoni is also one of the largest sailing yachts in the world.
Dubois designed a slender aluminum hull with plumb bow and reverse sheer, which gave the hull structural stiffness. This is important, considering the large portholes, a fold-out side-boarding platform, water-level gym door, a couple of submarine anchors, and retractable thrusters, as well as a 100-ton lifting keel that adjusts from 26 to 17 feet. Maximum hull speed is 17 knots.
The yacht features a carbon mast and a 9,182 square-foot square-top mainsail with supporting diagonal batten that detaches automatically and furls into the styled boom. The diagonal batten attaches automatically when hoisting as well.
A Williams 565 TenderDieselJet boat is stored in a cut-out tender garage on the flush foredeck, and an inflatable Bombard commando C3 sport boat is stowed deflated in a storage locker for crew use. They are extracted from the yacht and placed into the water via a Nautical Structures crane.
The cockpit helm station features a sculptural carbon helm with a stainless-steel top. Besides a cozy and protected seating area, the cockpit also includes a popup TV for alfresco movies. Glass doors between the cockpit and the deckhouse expand the inside out and the outside in.
Rick Baker and his team created Ngoni’s sophisticated interior, which was meant to be anything but traditional. Instead, it is a curvy, masculine, and colorful scheme, and includes sculpted-metal surfaces, marble and onyx from Italy, and bespoke veneers.
The glass deckhouse includes a seating area, bar, and dining area. Belowdecks are the owner’s apartment and two en-suite guest staterooms, one a twin and the other a double. Both cabins feature large windows to pull in the sunshine, highlighting the interesting veneers, marbles, and resin finishes.
The aft full-beam owner’s suite comprises an en-suite bedroom, as well as an en-suite study and gym, plus an opening hull port for fresh air and natural light. The owner’s stateroom offers up direct access to an aft sunbathing and lounging area with carbon-fiber spa tub and­­ steps down to the sea-level beach deck, which features an Olympic-size diving board.
Ngoni houses accommodations for crew, too, including a captain’s cabin, two single, and three twin crew cabins.
When not under sail, Ngoni has a range of 4,000 nautical miles at its MTU 8V 2000M72 engine’s cruise speed of 12 knots.

Dominator Unveils the Ilumen 28m Kalliente Superyacht
The 92-foot Dominator Kalliente sets new design and build standards for the under-100-foot yacht segment.
After three years and lots of rumors, the wait is over. Dominator officially showed its new Ilumen 28m class Kalliente in the South of France. Arguably the best-designed mini-megayacht to debut this year, the 92-foot Kalliente was commissioned by an American couple that will keep the yacht at their boutique hotel on the French Riviera. Robb Report first saw the yacht at the media launch today.
Dominator’s Ilumen sits at the forefront of the trend to distill superyacht features into 80- to 90-foot hulls without compromising on quality and, in this case, size. Kalliente’s bespoke interior includes a lavish, impeccably designed saloon with floor-to-ceiling windows for natural light. Its square footage is similar to yachts closer to 100 feet. The master suite is also the same size as many larger yachts, but extras like a retractable moon-roof over the bed and a private balcony in the bow, connected to the bedroom by weatherproof French doors, lift the Alberto Mancini–designed yacht to the top of its class. “When I saw the hull, deck, and superstructure I realized it was the beginning of a new era,” says Mancini.
That’s not just marketing hype. Dominator communicated very closely with yacht owners to create a custom interior, while engineering a robust hull and superstructure built to superyacht standards. “We work with the owners to make the interiors a bespoke design that fits them like a glove in terms of taste and preferences,” says Giulia Sigismondi, head of Dominator’s bespoke office. Among standout features on Kalliente are they yacht’s custom bar, made of stainless steel, backlit onyx, and Foglizzo leather, and a Champagne table of lacquered ebony, Foglizzo leather, and stainless steel. Inside are partitions for Champagne glasses. The details throughout the saloon are a testament to Mancini’s keen eye for subtle, elegant design and the skills of Dominator’s Italian craftsmen to create an interior masterpiece.

Want to do some cool redecorating? How about lighting up your countertops, walls, or bar tops -- from underneath? Depending on what kind of stone you purchase or already have, you can do this very easily. If the countertop material allows light to shine through, then it is 'translucent'. When backlit, these countertop surfaces can really light up a room and add a sophisticated ambience during the day and especially at night.
TylerCo's invention of SLABlite revolutionized the way countertops are illuminated. In addition to the ability to evenly light virtually everything, the cost to light areas is a fraction of what it used to be.
Each SLABlite is 12" x 12" x .375". There are no limitations to the size of your project. SLABlites go right next to each other and can be grouped together, lying just beneath the actual countertop. Because SLABlite can be custom cut on site, an installer can cut and shape SLABlites to fit around the sinkhole as well. There is no need for templates and trips back to the shop to cut and shape the lighting. This allows the light to shine up through the surface evenly without shadows or hot spots. The SLABlite system raises the stone just 3/8" and the finished look is a completely evenly lit stone surface, including the sink area, modular joining areas, overhangs and edges.

A sporty raised wheelhouse, main-deck winter garden, and 26-knot top speed make Heesen Irisha a standout superyacht.
The true genius behind Heesen’s 5000 Aluminum class is not purely in its continued success built on spec, but on its flexibility as a platform. Semi-displacement fully custom 167-foot Irisha is a fast and furious yacht with a top speed of 26 knots.

A Closer Look at Ngoni, One of the Largest Sailing Yachts in the World

A Closer Look at Ngoni, One of the Largest SailingYachts in the WorldRoyal Huisman has released never-before-seen photos of the 190-foot sailing yacht Ngoni.
Delivered last summer and immediately put to good use in the Mediterranean, the 190-foot high-performance sloop Ngoni (originally known by its project name: The Beast) from Royal Huisman is a sailing sight to behold. Tasked by the owner to create a contemporary yacht with incredible performance, handling, and seakeeping paired with luxury amenities, Dubois Naval Architects settled on a minimalistic approach, creating a clean, clutter-free deck and low-profile superstructure, both of which made for an elegant and efficient yacht. Ngoni is also one of the largest sailing yachts in the world.
Dubois designed a slender aluminum hull with plumb bow and reverse sheer, which gave the hull structural stiffness. This is important, considering the large portholes, a fold-out side-boarding platform, water-level gym door, a couple of submarine anchors, and retractable thrusters, as well as a 100-ton lifting keel that adjusts from 26 to 17 feet. Maximum hull speed is 17 knots.
The yacht features a carbon mast and a 9,182 square-foot square-top mainsail with supporting diagonal batten that detaches automatically and furls into the styled boom. The diagonal batten attaches automatically when hoisting as well.
A Williams 565 TenderDieselJet boat is stored in a cut-out tender garage on the flush foredeck, and an inflatable Bombard commando C3 sport boat is stowed deflated in a storage locker for crew use. They are extracted from the yacht and placed into the water via a Nautical Structures crane.
The cockpit helm station features a sculptural carbon helm with a stainless-steel top. Besides a cozy and protected seating area, the cockpit also includes a popup TV for alfresco movies. Glass doors between the cockpit and the deckhouse expand the inside out and the outside in.
Rick Baker and his team created Ngoni’s sophisticated interior, which was meant to be anything but traditional. Instead, it is a curvy, masculine, and colorful scheme, and includes sculpted-metal surfaces, marble and onyx from Italy, and bespoke veneers.
The glass deckhouse includes a seating area, bar, and dining area. Belowdecks are the owner’s apartment and two en-suite guest staterooms, one a twin and the other a double. Both cabins feature large windows to pull in the sunshine, highlighting the interesting veneers, marbles, and resin finishes.
The aft full-beam owner’s suite comprises an en-suite bedroom, as well as an en-suite study and gym, plus an opening hull port for fresh air and natural light. The owner’s stateroom offers up direct access to an aft sunbathing and lounging area with carbon-fiber spa tub and­­ steps down to the sea-level beach deck, which features an Olympic-size diving board.

Dominator Unveils the Ilumen 28m Kalliente Superyacht

Dominator Unveils the Ilumen 28m Kalliente Superyacht
The 92-foot Dominator Kalliente sets new design and build standards for the under-100-foot yacht segment.
After three years and lots of rumors, the wait is over. Dominator officially showed its new Ilumen 28m class Kalliente in the South of France. Arguably the best-designed mini-megayacht to debut this year, the 92-foot Kalliente was commissioned by an American couple that will keep the yacht at their boutique hotel on the French Riviera. Robb Report first saw the yacht at the media launch today.
Dominator’s Ilumen sits at the forefront of the trend to distill superyacht features into 80- to 90-foot hulls without compromising on quality and, in this case, size. Kalliente’s bespoke interior includes a lavish, impeccably designed saloon with floor-to-ceiling windows for natural light. Its square footage is similar to yachts closer to 100 feet. The master suite is also the same size as many larger yachts, but extras like a retractable moon-roof over the bed and a private balcony in the bow, connected to the bedroom by weatherproof French doors, lift the Alberto Mancini–designed yacht to the top of its class. “When I saw the hull, deck, and superstructure I realized it was the beginning of a new era,” says Mancini.
That’s not just marketing hype. Dominator communicated very closely with yacht owners to create a custom interior, while engineering a robust hull and superstructure built to superyacht standards. “We work with the owners to make the interiors a bespoke design that fits them like a glove in terms of taste and preferences,” says Giulia Sigismondi, head of Dominator’s bespoke office. Among standout features on Kalliente are they yacht’s custom bar, made of stainless steel, backlit onyx, and Foglizzo leather, and a Champagne table of lacquered ebony, Foglizzo leather, and stainless steel. Inside are partitions for Champagne glasses. The details throughout the saloon are a testament to Mancini’s keen eye for subtle, elegant design and the skills of Dominator’s Italian craftsmen to create an interior masterpiece.

Backlit Onyx, Hatteras Yacht

You can find the SLABlite at www.tylercoinc.com.
Want to do some cool redecorating? How about lighting up your countertops, walls, or bar tops -- from underneath? Depending on what kind of stone you purchase or already have, you can do this very easily. If the countertop material allows light to shine through, then it is 'translucent'. When backlit, these countertop surfaces can really light up a room and add a sophisticated ambience during the day and especially at night.
TylerCo's invention of SLABlite revolutionized the way countertops are illuminated. In addition to the ability to evenly light virtually everything, the cost to light areas is a fraction of what it used to be.
Each SLABlite is 12" x 12" x .375". There are no limitations to the size of your project. SLABlites go right next to each other and can be grouped together, lying just beneath the actual countertop. Because SLABlite can be custom cut on site, an installer can cut and shape SLABlites to fit around the sinkhole as well. There is no need for templates and trips back to the shop to cut and shape the lighting. This allows the light to shine up through the surface evenly without shadows or hot spots. The SLABlite system raises the stone just 3/8" and the finished look is a completely evenly lit stone surface, including the sink area, modular joining areas, overhangs and edges.

Onyx

Onyx is a banded variety of the oxide mineralchalcedony. Agate and onyx are both varieties of layered chalcedony that differ only in the form of the bands: agate has curved bands and onyx has parallel bands. The colors of its bands range from white to almost every color (save some shades, such as purple or blue). Commonly, specimens of onyx contain bands of black and/or white.

Etymology

Onyx comes through Latin (of the same spelling), from the Greek ὄνυξ, meaning "claw" or "fingernail". With its fleshtone color, onyx can be said to resemble a fingernail. The English word "nail" is cognate with the Greek word.

Varieties

Onyx is formed of bands of chalcedony in alternating colors. It is cryptocrystalline, consisting of fine intergrowths of the silica minerals quartz and moganite. Its bands are parallel to one another, as opposed to the more chaotic banding that often occurs in agates.

Sardonyx is a variant in which the colored bands are sard (shades of red) rather than black. Black onyx is perhaps the most famous variety, but is not as common as onyx with colored bands. Artificial treatments have been used since ancient times to produce both the black color in "black onyx" and the reds and yellows in sardonyx. Most "black onyx" on the market is artificially colored.
